Integrin alpha 2b/CD41 Antibody (IVA30) [PE/Cy5.5] Summary

• Description: This conjugate is made on demand and is not held in inventory. Each order represents a unique lot. All conjugates are generated using validated conjugation protocols and meet strict degree of labeling (F/P) specifications; additional information is available upon request. The antibody concentration is provided on the individual product label.
  
  For specialized conjugation needs, like large quantities, specific concentrations, and defined F/P ratios, bulk and custom antibody conjugation services are available.
• Immunogen: Bovine trombocytes.
• Specificity: The antibody IVA30 reacts with CD41/CD61 complex (bovine), one of the earliest markers of the megakaryocytic lineage. CD41/CD61 complex acts as the receptor for fibrinogen, fibronectin, Von Willebrand factor, vitronectin, thrombin and mediates platelets aggregation. CD41/CD61 is expressed only by platelets and megakaryocytes; the complex may be absent or strongly reduced in Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT).
• Isotype: IgG2
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: ITGA2B
• Purity: Protein A purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Flow Cytometry
• Application Notes: Optimal dilution of this antibody should be experimentally determined. For optimal results using our Tandem dyes, please avoid prolonged exposure to light or extreme temperature fluctuations. These can lead to irreversible degradation or decoupling. When staining intracellular targets, specific attention to the fixation and permeabilization steps in your flow protocol may be required. Please contact our technical support team at technical@novusbio.com if you have any questions. This conjugated antibody is not kept in inventory and is made to order using validated conjugation protocols.

Background

Integrin alpha 2b (CD41) is a calcium-dependent, noncovalently associated heterodimer and contains a heavy chain (GPIIb alpha) and a light chain (GPIIb beta) linked by a single disulfide bond. The Integrin alpha 2B chain interacts with the Integrin beta 3 subunit/CD61 to form the platelet glycoprotein complex, gpIIb/IIIa. It is expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. Ligands for the gpIIb/IIIa heterodimer include fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, fibronectin, vitronectin, and thrombospondin. The gpIIb/IIIa complex is the major Integrin on platelets and is important for platelet adhesion and aggregation.
